Kobe 5-50?

Kobe Bryant has left his mark yet again on the NBA by stringing together a recent streak of 4 50-point games in a row. Kobe has joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only players to ever score 50 points in 4 straight games. In addition, the Los Angeles Lakers next game is against the Golden State Warriors. Any game with the Warriors is expected to be a high scoring affair so expect Kobe to be on his way to another 50 point performance. Kobe bryant wants to be remembered for scoring points and winning basketball games, not the suspension-causing swipes he's taken at opposing players:

"The thing that was frustrating for me was people were talking about, 'He's a dirty player,' which, for me, is pretty insulting," Bryant said. "To have people talking about something else besides that -- it's a much better feeling."
